Favela da Rocinha is the largest slum in Latin America. Located in the south side of Rio de Janeiro, the community has a great infrastructure to receive tourists from all over the world. Beyond the sympathy of inhabitants, the community also has several social projects and viewpoints for observing the beautiful sight as the beach of São Conrado, Pedra Bonita, Pedra da Gávea and other parts of the city.
